Borussia Dortmund vs Arminia Bielefeld Predictions

• Dortmund scored 2+ goals in each of their last 16 home league games.
• Dortmund won with a 2+ goal margin in each of the last four H2H meetings.
• Six of Arminia’s ten league defeats this season were by a 2+ goal margin.
• Five of Arminia’s last six league games produced under 2.5 goals.

Dortmund look to bounce back against Bielefeld

A disappointing draw with Augsburg last time out served only to put more salt in the wounds of Dortmund, who are all but mathematically out of the title race and also out of European competition.

A match against relegation-threatened Arminia Bielefeld could be just what the doctor ordered then, as they seek to score at least twice in a 17th consecutive home league match.

Dortmund also scored at least three goals in their last three home meetings with Arminia, which gave them a combined scoreline of 15-1 across the period, suggesting that Dortmund could easily get back to their buoyant best in this clash.

Another tough trip for Arminia

After losing to nil and by a 2+ goal margin against top-four opposition in each of their last two away league games, Arminia must now face the third of those top four sides on their own turf, a daunting task indeed.

Bundesliga games involving Arminia have often been tame affairs, averaging a league-low 2.2 goals per-game, which is a contributing factor in the prediction of a 2-0 scoreline for the hosts despite their rampant form in recent H2Hs at this venue.

For the main prediction, we think that Dortmund simply have too much quality to slip up against this struggling Arminia side. Take the hosts to eclipse a -1 handicap for a decent value price in this game, but they could be restricted to two goals given their lengthy absentee list.
